We consider particles emanating from a source point inside an interval in one-dimensional space and passing through detectors situated at the endpoints of the interval that register their arrival time. Unambiguous measurements of arrival or…

The Feynman checkerboard problem is an interesting path integral approach to the Dirac equation in `1+1' dimensions. I compare two approaches reported in the literature and show how they may be reconciled. Some physical insights may be…

We present different non-perturbative calculations within the context of Migdal's representation for the propagator and effective action of quantum particles. We first calculate the exact propagators and effective actions for Dirac, scalar…

We derive some non-perturbative results in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions within the context of the particle path-integral representation for a Dirac field propagator in the presence of an external field, in a formulation introduced by Migdal in…

The problem of detection time distribution concerns a quantum particle surrounded by detectors and consists of computing the probability distribution of where and when the particle will be detected. While the correct answer can be obtained…

Here we examine the propagation of relativistic fields in spacetime using the viewpoint applied to derive the Rayleigh--Sommerfeld diffraction integral in three--dimensional space. We use this theory to find the propagators for both the…

We consider quantum rings realized in materials where the dynamics of charge carriers mimics that of two-dimensional (2D) Dirac electrons. A general theoretical description of the ring-subband structure is developed that applies to a range…

There are two distinct perspectives on the quantum time-of-arrival: one can ask for the probability that a particle is found at the detector at a given time, regardless of whether it was previously detected, or for the probability that the…

We revisit the path integral description of the motion of a relativistic electron. Applying a minor but well motivated conceptional change to Feynman's chessboard model, we obtain exact solutions of the Dirac equation. The calculation is…

How to compute the probability distribution of a detection time, i.e., of the time which a detector registers as the arrival time of a quantum particle, is a long-debated problem. In this regard, Bohmian mechanics provides in a…

We show that the distribution of times for a diffusing particle to first hit an absorber is \emph{independent} of the direction of an external flow field, when we condition on the event that the particle reaches the target for flow away…

The quantum dynamics of an ensemble of interacting electrons in an array of random scatterers is treated using a new numerical approach for the calculation of average values of quantum operators and time correlation functions in the Wigner…

We calculate the first passage time distribution for diffusion through a cylindrical pore with sticky walls. A particle diffusively explores the interior of the pore through a series of binding and unbinding events with the cylinder wall.…

Consider a network embedded in the 2D plane, where a particle diffuses along the edges of the network. It is clear that over short length scales a particle moves along a single edge and thus undergoes one-dimensional diffusion. However, on…

A realization of the concept of "crossing state" invoked, but not implemented, by Wigner, allows to advance in two important aspects of the time of arrival in quantum mechanics: (i) For free motion, we find that the limitations described by…

In this paper we consider quantum walks whose evolution converges to the Dirac equation one in the limit of small wave-vectors. We show exact Fast Fourier implementation of the Dirac quantum walks in one, two and three space dimensions. The…

This article introduces two techniques for computing the distribution of the absorption or first passage time of the drifted Wiener diffusion subject to Poisson resetting times, to an upper hard wall barrier and to a lower absorbing…

The propagator of the discrete Schr\"odinger equation is computed and its properties are revealed through a Feynman path summation in discrete space. Initial data problems such as diffraction in discrete space and continuous time are…

Unidirectional transports have been observed in two-dimensional systems, however, so far they have not been experimentally observed in three-dimensional bulk materials. In this theoretical work we show that the recently discovered Weyl…

We further develop the general theory of quantum time distributions introduced in arXiv:2010.07575 and apply it to find the distribution of arrival times at the detector. Even though the Hamiltonian in the absence of detector is hermitian,…
